From 1 November this year, aged care in Australia is changing. The new Aged Care Act puts your rights at the centre of your aged care – making the system safer, fairer and more respectful.
To help you, your family or carers understand the changes, the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing is developing a series of free online learning modules.
Module 2: Aligning to changes is now available.
The new module covers:
- accessing government-funded aged care services
- understanding your rights
- key changes to residential and in-home aged care
- navigating complaints and concerns.
It builds on Module 1: Understanding and adapting to the Aged Care Act 2024, released in June.
Complete the learning modules by:
- visiting the department’s website
- accessing the Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) learning management system
- downloading the training as a document.
The next module will be available in August 2025.
